Print Menu - La Posta de Mesilla

MI CASA ES SU CASA...
...As we say in Spanish, “my house is your house” and we are pleased that you are paying us this visit.
This is the original La Posta*. For more than a century and a half, these adobe walls have withstood
the attack of elements and man, sheltering such personalities as Billy the Kid, Kit Carson, General Douglas
MacArthur and Pancho Villa. A roaring Wild West town during the late 1800’s, Mesilla was the largest
town in the Southwest between San Diego, California and San Antonio, Texas. During this period, La Posta
served as the Corn Exchange Hotel, a favorite stop on the Butterfield Stagecoach Line. Many years later
a young, vivacious and colorful Katie Griggs Camuñez started La Posta de Mesilla Restaurant and Cantina
with four tables, dirt floors and no running water! La Posta’s authentic dishes are made from century-old
recipes handed down to us from the Fountain, Chavez and Griggs Families. Now one of the oldest and
most recognized restaurants in the Southwest, La Posta de Mesilla still offers its traditional hospitality,
fine food and spirits to all who wander here... just the way Katie would have wanted it!
*(In Spain, for centuries, LAS POSTAS were Inns built for King's rest, and were stationed along important travel routes. They were also used as mail drops.)
"Still Everyone’s Favorite Stop on the Butterfield Stagecoach Line!"
